15th SCREEN PRODUCERS AUSTRALIA AWARDS

The 15th Screen Producers Australia Awards, hosted by television and radio presenter James Mathison took place at Crown Palladium, Melbourne on Thursday 19 November 2015 during the 30th SCREEN FOREVER conference.

We have added a new Short Film Production category that complements the established categories that acknowledge excellence in feature film, feature film documentary, interactive (including games) and television, encompassing reality, light entertainment, telemovie or mini-series, children’s television, comedy and documentary television.

The addition of the Short Film Production category provides a platform for our emerging and mid career producers and sits alongside our other initiatives to support Australia’s creative talent including our Ones To Watch mentoring program and new business classes in development.

The Screen Producers Australia Awards are the primary litmus test of industry excellence, and the only awards voted by production businesses working in the industry, recognising the entirety of the production as opposed to one specific area of specialisation.
